I began the trip to Fiji by leaving home very early on Saturday Jan 31. I flew from Philadelpha to Atlanta and then to LAX arriving in the early afternoon. I had left home early because when I made reservations I didn't know what the weather was going to be on January 31. The result was that I had a very long layover in LAX. Finally in the evening I boarded the flight to Nadi Fiji. That was a 10 hour overnight flight. I arrived in the early morning and met the other members of our party at that point. After we were assembled we walked to another part of the airport where we waited a while before we boarded a smaller aircraft and flew to SavuSavu our final destination.
